GENERAL HEALTH, SAFETYAND ENVIRONMENTALINSTRUCTIONSThese instructions are designed to assist you in choosing a safeand environmentally sound course of action in situations whereno specic rule applies and where personal judgement becomesa factor. Heeding the suggestions, hints, and tips contained in

these instructions will help to prevent injury to you and your fel-low workers or an adverse impact on the environment.

Correct Unsafe Conditions Yourself …if you see tools, materials etc.. on platforms or walkways,remove them to eliminate tripping hazards. Correct any slip-ping hazards that you can, put oil dry, sand or salt on slipperysurfaces. Stop any leaks creating health, safety or environmentalhazards and report incidents to your supervisor.

Study Your Job From The Safety Angle…and think before starting work. Look at the possible conse-quences of your actions and prevent accidents from happening.Get all necessary protective equipment before you start work.Insure chemicals are properly stored and handled. Consult theMSDS and procedure manual for proper protective clothing or

equipment, or consult your supervisor. Be alert for potentialhydrocarbon or chemical leaks which may arise.

Mental Distractions Spell Danger…when the mind is in one place and body in another. If youhave a personal situation persistently bothering you, tell yoursupervisor so he/she can consider this before assigning your job.

Report All Hazards And Near-Misses…immediately to your supervisor. The Toledo Renery wantsto provide safe and environmentally sound working conditions.You can assist by reporting any unsafe conditions you observe.Near-miss accidents and environmental incidents often revealsuch conditions; tell your supervisor about them. Your actionscould prevent injury or damage to plant equipment or theenvironment.




Inspect Tools And Equipment...before using them. The prevention of serious injury or loss oflife may depend on the safe condition of the ladder, rope, tool,or other equipment you are about to use. If you have any doubtabout its safeness - DO NOT USE IT - Have the equipmentrepaired.

Stop Unsafe Work...you have the right and obligation to stop any work that isunsafe.

Lift Properly…to avoid serious back injury, bend your legs to get close to theobject, keep your back straight, get a rm grasp, and lift bystraightening your legs. If the object is too heavy for you, getsomeone to help you or use lifting equipment.

Understand the Chemical Hazards ...read the Material Safety Data Sheets, also known as MSDSsand chemical labels to understand the chemicals in the renery.The MSDS’s are available throughout the renery and areavailable on the Toledo Internet Web Site. BP Oil wants all em-ployees to stay updated on this information. Your health dependson it. Insure chemicals are handled and stored properly to avoida release to the environment.



Toledo Refinery 16

Handle Materials With Care...by keeping your hands away from pinch points and avoidplacing any part of your body where it could be caught betweenmoving objects. When a job requires that you exert force onan object, be in a comfortable, non-awkward position to avoidstrains and sprains. Use safety shoes to help prevent foot and toeinjuries and gloves to help prevent hand and nger injuries.

Move About The Plant Safely… and do not take shortcuts. Use regular walkways, passageways, stairs and ladders. Watch where you walk, especially

when walking on gravel and stone surfaces. Stay particularlyattentive when you climb ladders and stairways.Step, don’t jump, from one level to another. Safety harnesses arerequired fall protection for some elevated work - get them fromthe Fisher Safety Store or talk to your supervisor about how toobtain a safety harness..

Good Housekeeping/Environment…is essential to the renery. It will result in fewer accidents,minimize impact to the environment and will reduce the rehazards. All oil spills must be avoided. In the event of a spill aprompt clean up will minimize slipping, environmental impact,and re hazards. Passages and walkways must be kept free ofwelding rods, tools, draped hoses, extension cords and otherobjects which create stumbling hazards. Cleaning up the areawhere you are working is part of the job. This is our refinery, ifwe don’t take care of it, who will?




Avoid Breathing Petroleum Vapors…overexposure to petroleum vapors may produce a form ofintoxication or other serious health effects. If you nd yourselfexposed to vapors or fumes get to fresh air at once. Report thisimmediately to your supervisor because repeated exposure tocertain chemicals may create long term health hazards. Do notreturn unless the area has been tested or you’re wearing properbreathing protection.

Asbestos Awareness

… the key is to avoid exposures. Asbestos may be found in oldermaterial such as insulation, oor tile, ceiling tile, transit siding,etc.. Unless positively identied, assume all material containsAsbestos and do not disturb. Only certied trained asbestosabaters may disturb the material see your supervisor before youbegin work.

Read The Bulletin Boards… and watch the poster board. Safety and Environmental Alertsand lessons learned from incidents will be posted. Read them tolearn more about accident and environmental incident preven-tion.

Be Watchful For The Safety Of Others…especially visitors who may not be familiar with the opera-tions. They may require a renery employee escort. If you seethem in locations where they are likely to be injured, tell themcourteously about the hazards and how to avoid them.

If You See A Fire, Medical Emergency, Chemical Leak, orSpill - REPORT IT!…dial 5300 from within the refinery to report all Incidents.Assess the potential of the emergency and follow directions asdetailed in the Renery Emergency Plan.

When The Refinery Emergency Alarms Sound… you should immediately stop all work, shut down all equip-ment and listen for instructions over the PA system. If you areinstructed to evacuate, you should proceed immediately to yourdesignated assembly area. Evacuate upwind of the release. Besure you know and understand your responsibilities. For moreinformation talk to your supervisor.

Personal Cleanliness And Hygiene



Toledo Refinery 18

…are important factors in maintaining good health. Never useRenery products to clean personal clothing, or to wash oil or greasefrom skin. Do not wash re resistant clothing with family clothes.Insure they are laundered according to renery procedures.

Rings, Earrings & Long Hair... have caused many serious injuries and amputations bycatching on or between moving equipment. Employees are cau-tioned not to wear jewelry while working in the renery.Secure long hair in a hat or tie back.

GENERAL HEALTH, SAFETYAND ENVIRONMENTAL RULESIt is expected that every employee will comply with the follow-ing rules. Any exception to these rules is to be permitted only ondirect authority of the supervisor in charge. Should job condi-tions arise where you cannot comply with a specic rule, seeyour supervisor for alternate safe practices to follow. When indoubt as to what to do, ask your supervisor.

FIRE PREVENTION RULES

1. Smoking All buildings, trailers and vehicles at Toledo Renery are

designated as non-smoking areas by all employees, visitors

and contractors.Smoking is permitted only in specied smoking areas locatedoutside of certain buildings. Ashtrays have been provided inall of the smoking areas. Smokers are required to minimizethe amount of time in the smoking areas and are responsiblefor keeping the smoking area neat.

Supervisors are responsible for compliance with this policywithin their area of responsibility. Anyone violating the

Toledo Renery Smoking Policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

Contact your supervisor for more information on the ToledoRenery Smoking Policy.




2. Matches And Lighters While in the renery never carry household matches of the

“strike anywhere” type nor cigarette lighters without aspring-loaded cover completely enclosing the strikingmechanism. Both are re hazards. The matches can be ignitedeasily by friction on any surface and a lighter with an exposedstriking wheel can produce sparks if it is dropped.

Torch or welder int lighters must be carried in the open orsafe position.

3. Cleaning Fluids Only approved cleaning uids may be used for equipmentcleaning. Never wash your hands or other parts of your bodyin distillate of any kind.

4. Iron Sulfide Iron sulde is a grainy substance resembling rust except it is

darker and coarser. When exposed to air, iron sulde driesrapidly and generates suf cient heat to ignite combustibleswhich are contacting it.

Keep iron sulde wet when removing it from vessels,equipment, or piping during cleaning operations. Remove ironsulde immediately from areas which could contain ammableor combustibles and dispose of it in a safe and environmentallyacceptable manner.

5. Grounding To Prevent Static Electricity Build-up

Use grounding and bonding devices provided when loadingammable products into tank cars, trucks, trailers, or any othercontainers. All grounding and bonding must be secured beforeloading operations are started and must remain in place untilsuch operations are complete. Avoid splashing within thereceiving vessel whenever possible. Vacuum truck clean-up ofhydrocarbons requires grounding of the suction hose becausestatic electricity may be generated.

6. Fire Fighting And Equipment The company does not want you to risk your life in

ghting a re. Fire ghting equipment is for emergencyuse only. All such equipment must be kept visible and free ofobstructions at all times. Do not use re protection hoses for awork hose or a service hose.



Toledo Refinery 20

If you discharge an extinguisher, partially or completely,report it promptly to your supervisor or the Safety Departmentso the extinguisher can be recharged and returned to its proper place.

For use of rewater for non-re ghting purposes, you must rstcontact the Safety Department to obtain a Hydrant Permit. Whenactivating a hydrant insure the hydrant is turned fully open toprevent damaging the hydrant. When done using a hydrant insureit is closed and completely drained to prevent freeze damage.

7. Hot Work

Before starting any HOT WORK you must have in yourpossession a completed HOT WORK PERMIT. Hot workincludes the operation and use of any ame, heat or sparkproducing tools or equipment

Some examples are:a. Burning or cutting torches, welding equipment, open res

(salamanders, blow torches, etc.) and soldering ironsb. Sandblasting equipment.c. Friction tools capable of producing ignition temperatures.d. Portable non-explosion proof pumps and compressors.e. Internal combustion engines.f. Camera ash attachments.g. Electrical heating elements.h. Driving vehicles in areas not specically designated for

their use.

i. Temporary electrical cords without explosion proofconnections.

A Fire-watch is one or more trained persons with the assignedduty to watch for re. The Fire-watch is an important facet ofa Hot Work Operation. When a Hot Work Permit is markedthat a Fire-watch is required a person trained in the use of a reextinguisher must be assigned to watch the job for res. Fireextinguishers in the units assigned for emergency use shall notbe used as a stand-by for a Fire watch.

No HOT WORK PERMIT is needed for certain approved loca-tions in the renery such as hot work in the welding shop, anddriving on main renery roadways.




SAFETY RULES

8. Preventing Release Of Flammable Material No work is to be done on any piping or equipment until one of

the following methods has been used to prevent the accidentalrelease of hot, corrosive, toxic, or ammable material throughall lines connected to the equipment being repaired:

a) Blanking or disconnecting the pipe lines. This method mustbe used if the block valves closest to the work site are not

effective in shutting off the ow or if there is any doubt thatthe block valves will not completely shut off the ow.However, if hot work, or entry, is to be done, blanking ordisconnecting the lines is the only acceptable method ofpreventing the release of ammable material.

b) Securely closing block valves, chaining and locking themso they cannot be opened.

c) If a chain cannot be used on the valve, then considersecurely closing block valves and rmly attaching to each a“DO NOT OPEN” tag on the wheel or plug so it is readilyvisible from the operating position.

9. Entering And Working In Vessels And Other ConfinedSpaces

Do Not enter a vessel or other con

ned space for anypurpose until a properly signed CONFINED ENTRYPERMIT has been issued. Examples of conned spacesinclude vessels, tanks, sewers, electrical ducts, ues, stacks,reboxes, water conduits, sumps, wells, manholes, deep pits, etc.

A Test For Oxygen Deficiency and LEL must be made everytime an CONFINED ENTRY PERMIT is given for aconned space or vessel. Additional tests may be made whenconsidered necessary by the supervisor in charge. No oneshall enter a conned space where the oxygen content is19.5% or less, and the LEL is 10% or higher. If an oxygenDeciency exists in any conned space, it must be consideredan IDLH atmo sphere and special precautions must be takento work under these conditions.



Toledo Refinery 22

Other Special Considerations: When it is necessary forworkers to enter an enclosure where gas or other hazardousmaterials are present, or may be liberated during the work, asafety analysis will determine the precautions to be taken,including the type of breathing protection required, escape andrescue procedures, and equipment needed for an emergency.

Industrial Hygiene monitoring may be required to detect lowlevel concentrations of chemicals such as benzene, hydrogensulde, total hydrocarbons, etc. Consult the MSDS forinformation on the contents of the vessel to determine what

extra testing must be done before entry

Tanks and other vessels that have contained TETRAETHYLLEAD shall not be entered under any circumstances until anacceptable LEAD-IN-AIR analysis is performed by acompetent individual.

10. Work In Process Areas

a) To enter an operating area - you must sign-in and getapproval from the operating authority.

b) A Safe Work Permit must be issued before starting to workon any piece of process equipment.

c) A Conned Space entry permit is required before enteringvessels, tanks, manholes, furnaces, reboxes, ues, ducts,and other conned enclosures.

d) A Hot Work Permit is required before starting anyhot work.

e) Notify the Operator when the job is completed andsign-out.

11. Safety Devices On Operating Equipment

Do Not Make Critical Safety Devices Inoperative. Ex-amples of equipment safety devices are high or low alarms,overspeed governors, high-temperature cutouts, safetyvalves, etc. if an authorized person cannot make proper ad-

justments while the safety device is in service, he/she shouldtag the safety device “OUT OF SERVICE” and immedi-ately notify the Operations supervisor for that area.




12. Electrical Equipment

No one but an authorized person shall connect, disconnect,repair, or adjust electrical equipment. In areas whereexplosion-proof outlets are provided, use tools, extensioncords, etc., equipped with explosion-proof plugs. Obtain aHOT WORK permit to adapt a standard plug for temporaryservice in an explosion-proof outlet. The plugs must havea proper ground and need to have GFI protection.

Do not remove vapor-proof and explosion-proof globes to

attach electrical equipment. Replacement of bulbs in suchxtures will require a Hot Work permit.

Do not use temporary extension lights without protectiveguards to prevent breakage. In damp or wet locations useonly extension lights with approved cords, molded rubbersockets, and GFI protection.

13. Starting, Stopping Machinery - Opening, Closing Valves

Do not operate any valves or tamper with controls unlessyou are specically authorized to do so. Do not turn on oroff any electricity, gas, steam, air, acid, water, etc., or setin motion any machinery or electrical apparatus withoutproper permission from operator in charge.

14. Locking-Out Energy Sources To Equipment Under Repair

No work is to be done on any equipment, machinery, powertools, etc., until positive measures have been taken to insurethat all energy sources have been locked out or tagged out toprevent accidents by unintentional release of hazardousenergy while the work is in progress. Qualied electriciansrequired to work on live electrical circuits, or changing outbreakers “hot” will follow specic safety procedures for thatspecic job.

In the following procedures, the protective devices usedto prevent accidental starting are to be removed only byauthorized persons. No one should remove a protectivedevice until all employees have completed their work andare in a safe position.



Toledo Refinery 24

Electrical or electrically driven equipment shall have theswitch or breaker to that equipment positively locked out.Locking-out just the push button station is not adequate.Always test (before the work is started) to be sure the switchor breaker has actually shut off power. If for any reason theswitch cannot be locked out, do not start the work - checkwith your supervisor. The maintenance personnel will alsolock out the equipment and it must not be restarted until themaintenance worker removes his/her lockout device.

Steam, Air, or Gas powered equipment shall have the closed

power valve secured against accidental opening by a lock orlocked chain. The supply line must be blanked if the closedcontrol valve or block valve leaks.

In those few cases when machinery cannot be shut downbefore cleaning, adjusting or repairing, extra precautionsmust be taken to do the job safely These precautions mayinclude careful safety preplanning of the work and wearingnecessary personal protective equipment.

15. Guards On Machinery And Power Tools

Do not operate any machinery, power tool, etc., if guardsdesigned for such machinery and tools, are not in place. Useextra precautions in those few cases where machinery mustbe operated without guards (such as lining up belts or chaindrives).

16. Excavations And Exposed Openings

When digging trenches and other excavations, complete asafe work permit, review the underground drawings, checkwith your supervisor, and, use detection equipment to locateunderground objects; such as, buried red concrete, regularconcrete, electric power lines, piping, etc.

Excavations 4 feet and deeper, require bracing, shoring, orsloping the sides to prevent cave-in, and may require aconned space entry permit.




Always cover, barricade, or rope off excavationsbefore leaving the job. When the work is left uncovered atnight, post warnings of a type approved for the area andvisible in darkness. Remove barricades, sign, etc., at the endof the job.

When manhole covers, platform sections, valve pit covers,stairs, or handrails must be removed, properly guard theexposed openings. Rope railings are not considered a substi-tute for handrails.

17. LaddersInspect ladders before use. Use only ladders in safecondition, equipped with proper type shoes or spurs forthe ground conditions. Remove unsafe ladders from thework area and have them repaired or destroyed. Do not usethe top half of an extension ladder by itself as a straightladder.

If your ladder must be placed on an insecure surface at thetop or bottom, have someone hold the ladder while you tiethe ladder at the top.

Place a straight ladder so that the base is at a distanceapproximately one-fourth (1/4) the length of the ladder fromthe object it is leaning against. Never stand on the top of astepladder unless it has a working platform. Only one person

is allowed on a ladder at one time. Keep both hands free forclimbing. Use a hand line to raise or lower light materials ortools. When working from a ladder at least one hand mustbe used to grasp the ladder and both feet must be on a ladderrung if no other Fall Protection is being used.

18. Warning For Railroad Car work

DO NOT load, unload, clean, repair, or do any other workon any railroad car until blue warning signs or lights areposted at the head, or both ends of the spur track. If derail-ing devices are provided, be sure they are locked in position



Toledo Refinery 26

19. Scaffolds And Working Platforms

Properly construct and locate all scaffolds so they will notobstruct passageways, exits, re ghting equipment, oroperating controls. Before using, always check that yourscaffold has all structural parts in place including handrails,midrails, and toe boards.

Makeshift scaffolds are not permitted! A competentperson will approve a scaffold and tag it appropriately. Donot use a scaffold if it is not tagged or has a Danger tag. If a

scaffold is tagged yellow use required PPE based on hazardslisted. A green tag indicates a scaffold is safe to use.

Do not modify scaffolds. Only a competent scaffoldbuilder can modify a scaffold. If a scaffold is modied thetag must be changed to reect the condition of scaffold andcompetent person notied. Scaffolds that cross walkwaysmust have areas below be roped off or have signs showingthat men are working above.

20. Compressed Gas Cylinders

Handle Gas Cylinders, such as those for oxygen, acetylene,carbon dioxide, chlorine, nitrogen, etc., WITH CARE sopressure will not be released suddenly. Do not abuse, ormisuse them by dropping, banging together, striking, etc.

Always secure cylinders (preferably upright), to a suitablesupport WITH A CHAIN OR OTHER SAFETYBRACKET. Never lay an acetylene cylinder on its side.Other cylinders may be laid on their sides IF THEY ARESECURED FROM MOVING.

Keep protective caps on cylinders except when they havepiping or control valves attached to the cylinder outlet.Remove such connections and install protective caps oncylinders when they are transported. Always check the labelor the stencil on the cylinder to make certain you havethe proper gas. If you are in doubt about the contents of acylinder, see your supervisor before using the gas. Neveruse ttings to make a cylinder mate to a regulator. Thismay connect the wrong gas with the system. Do not allow




oxygen to contact oil and grease. Oxygen must be storedat least 20 feet from any combustible gas or be separatedby a rewall with a 1/2 hour re rating. Large numbers ofoxygen and acetylene cylinders can not be stored together.They must be separated. Never cut or weld directly abovethe oxygen and acetylene equipment. The hot metal maydamage hoses and start a re

When cylinders are left unattended with the hose and torchconnected, always close the CYLINDER VALVES andrelease the pressure in the hoses. Be sure a check valve is

installed to prevent oxygen and acetylene from mixing inthe hoses.

21. Compressed Air

Do not use compressed air to blow dust from clothing. Itmight cause small sharp particles of rust to be embedded inthe skin or eyes. Such air might enter an open wound, getinto the blood stream, and cause serious injury or death.Horseplay with compressed air is dangerous. DO NOT DOIT!

22. Nuclear Radiation

Only persons authorized by the radiation safety of cer shalloperate or service devices or equipment which is a radia-tion source. Radiation isolation procedures must be used to

service this equipment.

Here is a list of some of the working conditions whererespiratory protection is required:

• Spray painting• Handling dry chemicals or other materials that produce

dust in harmful concentrations.• Handling insulation containing asbestos (or suspected

of containing asbestos) requires special precautions.• Entering or working in an atmosphere known to

contain, capable of producing, or suspected ofcontaining hydrogen sulde, tetraethyl lead, or

harmful concentrations of carbon monoxide, sulfurdioxide, benzene, methanol, ammonia, etc. oxygen(less than 19.5% in the breathing air). Oxygendeciency can only be determined by using a testerwhich will measure the amount of oxygen present.Sour crude oil presents a particularly serious hydrogensulde hazard. Employees shall always wearrespiratory equipment while inspecting, gauging,drawing samples, performing repair work on tanks orequipment containing this type of crude oil, or whendescending for any purpose to the oating roof of atank containing sour crude oil.

• Entering or working in atmospheres containingconcentrations of hydrocarbons or Benzene above thepermissible exposure limits. Consult the MSDS for thematerial properties and use testing equipment todetermine concentrations of air contaminants.

• Sandblasting operations. A supplied air hoodspecically designed for this work must be worn.

• Welding in conned spaces where there is notsuf cient ventilation provided to remove fumes.

• Entering excessively hot areas (over 100F) where itwould be harmful to breathe the heated air. TheSafety Supervisor should be consulted to determinehow to protect personnel during the work.

• Entering or working in an unventilated location knownor suspected of having a deciency of oxygen (lessthan 19.5%) in the breathing air. Oxygen deciency

can only be determined by using a tester which willmeasure the amount of oxygen present.




PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT

- OSHA RULE 1910.119

Background and Intent:The OSHA PSM Rule was written in response to industrialaccidents like Bhopal, India where a leak of toxic MethylIsocyanate killed more than 2000 people and the explosion at thePhillips Petroleum plant in Pasadena, Texas that killed 23 andinjured 130 others. OSHA wrote the PSM rule to improve thecontrol of toxic, ammable or explosive materials in processplants. OSHA does not dene how companies are to do this.Instead they set guidelines and describe the management systemto accomplish the intent of the rule. At BP Toledo, we havereviewed the PSM rule to determine what specic things weneed to control the risk of making gasoline and other products.PSM contains the following sections:

1) Employee ParticipationThe unit HazOp studies, procedures, training materials,Process Safety Information (PSI) and audits were developed,revised and updated using BP Toledo employees whooperate, repair and are knowledgeable on the renery pro-cesses.

2) Process Safety InformationThe P&ID drawings, electrical classication maps, equip-

ment records, PSV data, and other information is archivedand kept up to date so that we can evaluate, operate andrepair equipment properly.

3) Process Hazard AnalysisA HazOp study of each of the process units was conductedby May 26, 1997. The recommendations from these studiesare on le and are being addressed per a priority schedule.What-If reviews and HazOps studies are completed for newequipment and changes to the renery per the Managementof Change requirements.

4) Operating ProceduresOver 1000 procedures are in place that were written tostandardize the way complex operating tasks are completed.These procedures are certied annually to assure thatchanges to the process are incorporated into them.



Toledo Refinery 38

5) TrainingTraining of operators and maintenance personnel is done toimprove and maintain the skills of the workforce. This is anintegral part of controlling the hazards of the renery.

6) ContractorsContractor safety programs are in place to monitor, train andcontrol the activities of contract employees in the renery.

7) Pre-Start-up Safety ReviewBefore equipment is put into service the installation ischecked against design to assure that it was built to standard,that people know how to operate and maintain it, and that the

records for this equipment are up to date.8) Mechanical Integrity

A plan to control the renery equipment purchase, inspectionand repair is in place. The details of this plan includerequirements for training of metal inspectors, inspectionmethods, control of PSV inspection and maintenance,control of alloy piping, QA/QC procedures, etc.

9) Hot Work PermitsHot work permits have been in place in the renery for years.

10) Incident InvestigationInvestigate incidents and near misses, determine the rootcause, make recommendations to correct the root causes, andshare the lessons learned.

11) Emergency Planning and ResponseTrain, plan and prepare for emergencies to minimize theimpact of the emergency.

12) Compliance AuditsReview the renery program performance.

13) Management of ChangeChanges to the renery processes must be controlled. Wheninstalling new piping, equipment, chemicals, changingprocedures or instrument logic (or disabling instruments)follow Management of Change Guidelines and be sure we:

• Review the risk of making the change and improvethe design to address concerns.

• Make sure the system is built to specs andstandards appropriate for the service

• Teach people how to operate and maintain the system• Update renery records so we can repair it properly

and modify it




MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE

GUIDELINE

The Management of Change guideline is required if any ofthe following questions are answered yes:

1) Is there a change in the P&ID (piping, equip.,metallurgy, instrument or control logic)?

2) Is this a new installation (not replacement in kind) ofprocess piping, process equipment, controls or control

room ventilation?3) Is a new chemical, additive, feed being used?

(Chemical addition system injection point being moved,quill changed, material changed?)

4) Are instruments, instrument control logic, shutdownsand alarms being changed from the original design? (in a way not covered by training or procedures)

5) Are the new operating conditions outside theequipment design range?

6) Are procedures being changed such that people needto be retrained on them?

MOC (Management of Change) has the following steps to it: 1) Dene the design of the change, markup P&ID and

Plot Plan, determine how the change will work.2) Get approval of the Area Team Leader responsible for

that area.3) Review the risk of making the change to the process,

complete a HazOp, What-If or What-If checklist4) Explain to people (operators, supervisors and

maintenance) how it works and how to repair it.5) Make sure it is built to appropriate specs. and code and

that people know how to run it and x it.6) Update the records to include the change.

Employees Required to use MOCAnyone who can make a change that affects the design of theprocess is required to use the MOC guideline before a change ismade.



Toledo Refinery 40

Employees initiating the MOC process could be:• An operator who disables an alarm or shutdown trip• An engineer coordinating the installation of a check valve, • A new block valve or bypass around a control valve• An instrument foreman adding an H2S detector to the

Nerve Center ventilation system• An margin driver selecting a new crude for renery

processing• A maintenance foreman changing the setpoint on a PSV• A person bringing a new chemical into the renery

(chemical sales rep) and many others Pipe ClampsThe renery On-Stream Leak Repair Practice represents theprocess that has been in place for many years before the OSHAPSM rule took effect. This guideline formalizes the process andassures that PSM requirements are met. This guideline needs tobe followed when applying clamps and engineered boxes tocontain leaks.

Procedure ChangesProcess changes tracked by an MOC may or may not requireprocedure changes. Those procedure changes will be veriedduring the PSR for the MOC. Procedure changes (independentof process changes) that do not require retraining of the opera-tors do not require MOC control. Operations procedure changes(independent of process changes) that do require operatorretraining follow MOC.

Operational ChangesChanging the function of alarms, shutdown devices, and otheroperational changes in the renery may alter the operators con-trol over the unit. These changes require that the risks be man-aged. This area of MOC does not t the WO and small projectmethods well because these changes happen on shift. The peoplewho are trained to control alarms, shutdowns and operationalparameters are the STM, STS and operators. These people havethe training, knowledge and authority to evaluate the risks ofdifferentoperations.




GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL

AWARENESS

Employee’s Responsibility:• Support the intent of the renery’s environmental policy: No Damage to the Environment, Comply with

Regulations, and Continual Improvement• Know the Environmental impact of your activities and of
